"Pres. Obama: "Going Gangsta or Going Roosevelt???""

Wow...

This is some exciting stuff...
Let's get right at it... I usually start with something a little light then to the hard stuff, but (first big but in the room) I must take this one head on... I am sure most of you have already heard what Roland said... If you did not, please allow me to bring you up to date... Roland S. Martin, CNN Political Analyst, said in his CNN Blog,

"Time for Obama to go 'gangsta' on GOP"...

Wow...
Come on...Roland...
You are a frat, but (a big phat what are you thinking but in the room) what are you thinking, bro...
I believe that this is just the kind of language that the Reps would love to hear from the Obama Camp... This kind of language would make their point that Pres. obama is a one-sided President who is not for all the citizens of America... Besides, this isn't who Pres. Obama is - it sound so out of character for the President...

So what is Roland trying to do???
If he is trying to get a rise out of it, he did...
So Roland, " lighten up man... "
Gangstas go to jail... Dahhhhhhh!!!
Actually I would have perferred to hear Roland tell us more about what went on at the "White House" yesterday with the meeting between Pres. Obama and the "Civil Rights leaders..." I am sure we all want to know what the President is going to do about the massive unemployment in the black community...
I believe Roland should use this incredible spotlight to rally "people of color" to do more in our own community for our own, so that whatever the government contributes is an added plus... That is just my spill on the matter...
Do you feel me...
I hope you do...

Wow...
Now to address the same issue of how the President should handle the GOP, one does not have to look hard in history to find a great example...
I believe that Pres. Obama should

"Go Roosevelt" on the "GOP..."

I am sure we all are familiar with the tenacity and vigor that Teddy governed with...
Teddy's motto was "Speak softly and carry a big stick"....
Now this is more of Pres. Obama's style...
Culturally speaking, few black people in power are able to govern without at some point using the "ghetto style" behavior... It is always expected by the other side to see how long a brother can go before he forgets and regress... Pres. Obama has built his political career based upon his color-blind approach to everything he does...
This is a large part of his appeal...
Therefore, I am sure Pres. Obama will not go "Gangsta" on anyone, especially not the GOP... One thing is for sure, that Pres. Obama is no push over... One thing about being President is that you get to see things from a very high perch...
So, yes Pres. Obama has to get tougher on the entire Congress and especially the DEMS,
but (Big phat "NO - NO" but in the room) Going Gangsta" is not the answer...

Wow...

Do you feel me???
I am sure you do...
Let me hear you say, "Yes yes we can..."
Ok, really quick, you know I like to lighten things up a little so here is goes... I saw Roland live here at NC A&T SU...
I was impressed at his ability to speak without writing a word down... He spoke at this HBCU whose mascott is the same ass his Alma Moda, "Aggies!!!"
"Aggie Pride..."
Yes, as I said before, he is my frat brother - "06..."
But ( big phat what was Roland thinking but in the room) Roland had the Audacity to ask all the minister and pastors to stand up and basically "Dared them to sat down until he was finish lecturing them...
"What???"
Yes, he did...
On several occasion several tried to slip down in their seats and Roland would bark at them like a "DP..." Then he lectured to them for twenty minutes.... Wow... I bet you the next time he ask the clergy to stand there will be several that will not...
I was in the back of the cracking up while some the older ones were itching to sit down... :)
I must admit that what he told them was valuable, it was just how he handled them is what was surprizing...
Roland went "Gangsta on them..."
Hummmmm!!!!
Wow...
This is some exciting stuff...
I know you feel me on this...
